In the nodding head...

foreign object embedded
in an orifice
that it wasn't meant to be

Span of an entire lifetime
Balancing one's smiles and tears
Harmony and dissonance
Measured in pleasures.

The sun's rays blare impatiently
    a trumpet at my window

  Their jars and jolts of dissonance
    a workingman's overture's crescendo...

Meeting, toast, and air conditioner. 
The jazz background dissonance.
Phosphorescent drinks in crystal cup,
Holding all virtual life inside it....

So imagine
A death ray
That turns
Troops to paste
Or makes the
Atoms in their
Body explode
Hmm dissonance
And quiet at 
The border tonight...

Words
clamor
and curdle
into ripened, 
red embolisms
of vulgar syllables
that dam fresh inspiration
with futile, vagrant dissonance.
I diagnose my swollen fingers
as unfortunate strokes of distraction....

The moon is full tonight
Full of hope and full of love
Longingly I look up
To that gleaming ball above

The moon is full tonight
Full of awe and full of glee
While far below I stand here
Empty as can be....

                     Split-up...

restless heart in need of flight
the time is drawing near
future bliss within his sight
in the present lives his fear

what he has and what he needs
inhabit different pages
conscience shamed by guilty deeds
such sin has costly wages...

You called just to say
You’ve had enough of me
Distraught
Distracted with thoughts irrelevant
Sitting in dissonance
And starry eyed innocence
Tongue-tied
My heart died
It fell into the hands of Nyx
And thrown into the river Styx....

He stands so tall
He looks so fine
His clothes are pressed
He toes the line
He drives the road
In new Mercedes
Nearer Heaven yet than Hades

Some would kill to have his life
And he drives home to beat his wife
Appearances aside....

the sky is a thousand hues
of the same colour, one painting /\
splayed twice, yielding /\/\
an invisible dissonance
between the pointed rooves
of suburbia [/\/\]
natural/unnatural

On a painting of two black triangles by Agnes Martin...

Subtle kisses in the dark 
Can you see me?
Soft and gentle embraces without uttering a single word
Do you feel me?
My presence has left me and stumbled upon you
Anxiousness causes heart throbs of dissonance 
Do you love me? 
Lip biting has become inevitable...

The abrupt dissonance caused a mental breakdown 
Father was never in his life
The streets played the role of caretaker 
Homelessness became his ultimate attire 
Often, a square peg in a round whole 
The grinding lead to a friction like no other 
Bottom is reality, top is but a dream...

Of a story containing

Perhaps resonance and

Gratitude...

Of dissonance 

Perhaps ending

An illusion of

Separation...

I scream 
This night vision
Too many miles without you
Like dissonance craves its resolution 
I covet you
My Peace
With shattered dreams and frozen tears
I stand here naked
My soul pierced by eyes of fire
Desperately defenseless
Consume me
This heart in desolation
Love gives way to thorns...

The daily slideshow
'Editor's Pick'
shows drunken revelers
high on an orgy
of celebration
interspersed with 
devastation
in war zones
and a man who killed because -
'Get out of my country'
a hate crime
the slow scroll of images
presented in a microcosm
of the world today
no wonder the refugees
look confused...
